Brightwood Capital?

Know Brightwood a bit. They're solid. Worked on a deal w/ them - they came in big for us w/ an anchor ticket / big commitment to the 2nd Lien Term Loan. Info below (by the way yeah they're website has nothing on it basically - I always find that interesting...HPS is similar)

Brightwood Capital

• $4.2B Assets under management (AUM). 
• Products: They do 1st lien TLB, 2nd Lien, Unitranche.
• Hold size: Not sure they can hold / commit $100 million in size like Owl Rock, Ares, HPS, Golub, etc., so for a Unitranche of that size, they may need a partner (in my notes)
• Says investment criteria: EBITDA $5 - $75 million
• 50 employees
• Industries: Technology & Telecommunications, Healthcare, Business Services, Transportation & Logistics and Franchising.

Here's a few deals they're a lender to:
